California voters, you have likely gotten your ballot or will get it soon, so let me give you two very important lifehacks: 1) The sooner you turn in your ballot, the sooner campaigns will stop sending you annoying texts/calls asking if you’re planning to vote 2) vote for me if you’re in AD-72

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

A new cloud of anxiety is hovering over the public amid reports of an infectious disease, a laboratory accident and a death. The fact that the story comes out of Russia heightens American concerns …

BREAKING: For the first time in 10 months, the U.S. admitted a refugee who is not a white South African. In September, the U.S. admitted 3,386 white South Africans and two Afghans (in D.C.) In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 16,287 white South Africans, five Afghans, and nobody else.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

The claim is that Biden admin overcharged the insurers a fee to run the federal healthcare exchange that was passed along to insured as higher premiums but the fee was also collected during trump 1.0. Never mind millions lost ACA coverage this year due to GOP subsidy cut raising premiums.

Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

I think there’s a stronger case for pretty much the opposite rule. If you’re studying a field where you’re going to rapidly be making a lot of income, why do you need a government loan? Get one on the private market.

Deepak Karra (deepak_karra on IG) captured this shot of a pink robin, native to the forests of South Australia & Tasmania. In technical terms, this is a bird shaped like an orb, or 'BORB'. 🐦🟣 Reminder that this little guy is a direct descendant of theropod dinosaurs like T. rex. (📷: Deepak Karra)
A poof of bright pink belly feathers that looks like one of those fuzzy pencil-toppers is surmounted by a dark grey head in which is a wary dark eye.  It's gripping a pink flowering branch that changes from nearly vertical to actually vertical, requiring a sort of death grip by the legs.

If we're going to denaturalize and deport people for sex trafficking they hid on their citizenship applications, is there a reason this would not apply to Ghislaine Maxwell?
CHILD SEX ABUSER’S CITIZENSHIP REVOKED AFTER NATURALIZATION FRAUD CONVICTION
 
Cyril Domaquik Clemens, a Liberian native, was convicted of three counts of indecent liberties with a child after confessing to sexually molesting a young child.
 
The abuse began before he naturalized, but he concealed it during the citizenship process, fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship.

Communist China builds much better affordable electric cars than the “capitalist” US. Americans are forced to pay more for inferior products because the US is not allowing Chinese cars to be sold here. American companies would be forced to build better cars if the market was not protected.

During impeachment, the following happened: 1) Rudy visited known Russian spy Andrii Derkach 2) Bill Barr got copy of Hunter Biden's laptop 3) DOJ dropped Burisma corruption investigation started in 2016 4) Bill Barr set up a side channel to ingest Rudy's RU dirt Impeachment slowed none of that.
